Hi Unregistered,

The only thing I didn't like is that they didn't focus on the fact that Ash got turned into a Pikachu. If that had been the focus of this episode, it would've made me like it even more. XD

However, instead the writers made the episode focus on Lily, the Pokemon Reading Spell, and Pokemon Magic (in general).

Of course, the very fact that they left all those questions unanswered leaves me to believe that maybe the writers will either:

A) Have an episode where Lily returns

B) Have another episode that's all about Pokemon Magic (Lily doesn't reappear though)

C) Just leave the questions unanswered, and hope that the fans figure it out for themselves (I really hope they don't do this - Pokemon Magic and everything is such an amazing topic, I think it deserves to have another episode)

"I'm not leavin' Pikachu. There's no way I could run off and leave it here all alone. I don't care what it takes, I'm gonna help. Even if I have to battle Kyogre and Groudon by myself."

^^ I actually enjoyed this episode a lot, it was fun and cute, plus right now, I never knew how many unanswered questions are out in this episode. To tell you the truth, I actually never thought of those questions that you asked. Yeah, it does make anyone to wonder. I kinda wish there was another episode that Lily came back, I actually (yeah too old for this) like, *loves thinkin' about magic, and there are so many mysteries that lie ahead.

I bet the writers made this episode on purpose 2 make us think too hard.

Hey I'm trying hard to make a comics of that.... ^_^; I wanted to make it longer. ^_^ but the updates of the pokemon is getting faster so the story is gonna be complicated. ^_^; I wanted it to be related to anime.

I was never a big fan of this episode, but I always felt Murkrow was an underused Pokemon so I liked that it was used in this episode. I was wondering does anyone know what James' jokes were in the Japanese version? In the dub they weren't really funny and seemed to simply play off the illustrations without otherwise making sense.

Proud supporter of Aipom (Started by De HotShot Mon) and Unown (Started by Da Master of Unowns!), I would have copied the whole text for both but I wasn't allowed that many lines in my sig.

One of my favorite episodes ever, no lie. Lily was utterly hilarious, and the idea of "magic" in Pokemon is hardly ever touched on XD (The only "magic" we ever get to see is multiple electric shocks & falls suffered by both Ash & Team Rocket... and somehow surviving to see another day.)

Obviously, the best part was Ash being turned into a Pikachu ^______^ LONG LIVE ASHACHU!!! Those writers need to bring that back!! D:

This was definitely one of better Johto fillers without a doubt.The whole idea of Ash turning in pikachu was hilarious and unique.I really didnt expected that this is going to happen,and i love the concept of using magic in pokemon.I always wondered if that spell for reading pokemon mind is working.

Lily was interesting and whole episode was refreshing and entertaining to watch.

I thought the idea of Pokemon magic was great. I enjoyed seeing Ash, Misty, Brock, and Lily go around collecting ingredients for the potion. However, I think the Aipom that just happened to show up was a little to much of a coincidence. I also enjoyed seeing Jessie, James, and Meowth try to get Aipom to cry. I never expected Ash to be transformed into a Pikachu though.

I noticed that when Ash was a Pikachu and he told Pikachu, Togepi, and Murkrow to come over and play, that it then cuts to a scene and Misty is still holding Togepi even though they just showed it playing with Ashachu.

I do not do competitive battling and I really do not have any desire to. I also do not go out of my way seeking for shinies because I never really understood why they were so great anyways. All I truely enjoy pokemon contests, breeding, and in-game battling.

I think grass pokemon are the greatest ever and I take great pride in the ones I have raised. I also think that Chikorita is the most adorable pokemon ever!

This is one of my favourite episodes of the series. Something I've always wondered is about the alleged special episode of "Pikachu Times Two" what follows this according to Pokemopolis. I have looked all over the web for this and I can't find it anywhere. Does this episode even exist? The episode guide for this looks awesome as it has Ash as Pikachu for the entire episode. Bulbapedia and Serebii.net doesn't list this episode at all and Pokemopolis is the only site what I have seen that has this listed.

After Ash turned into a Pikachu, I wonder if it would have been possible for someone to catch him before he changed back. Technically, he was now a pokemon with no trainer. I wonder what happened to his pokemon when he transformed; I know that they never worry about things like what happen to the clothes at these times, but the pokemon were in their pokeballs when he transformed. If the pokeballs vanish while occupied, what happens to the pokemon?

Ash transforming into a Pikachu was great and it was the highlight of this magic-themed episode. I wanted it to last but alas. Besides the hocus pocus magic tricks used by the COTD, it was bland. Not much except a few a little magic tricks to please the audience. At least it was a fresh concept. 5/10.
